9.0 Operation of the pedal/driving speed
The Verti-Drain
®
has two pedals that can be found on the right side of the machine (see fig.
17). This design consists of a main speed pedal (1) and a Tine distance speed pedal (2).
The main speed pedal (1) is used to take the Verti-Drain
®
from and to the place where the
work is to be performed. Never, therefore, use this pedal when working with the machine.
The Tine distance speed pedal (2) is used for performing the work. This pedal can
be adjusted so that different hole distances can be achieved. To adjust this pedal,
you must first unscrew the knob (3) and, next, the pedal must be turned to the
required position using the adjustment handle (4).
Next, the knob (3) must be re-tightened .
Table 1 specifies the hole distances that can be obtained with the 5 positions.
@ Attention: the hole distances in this table are at maximum speed (@ 3000 rpm). If
you are working with a lower speed, the hole distances will not match the values
in the table below. The data in this table should also only be regarded as
providing orientation values and not absolute values. The best way to work is to
try a number of settings on the variable adjustable accelerator to, thus, achieve
the desired result.
